Rob Reiner's Son Arrested for Parents' Murder After Conan's Party

Comedian Conan O'Brien has shared his profound grief following the deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer. The couple, who were close to O'Brien and his wife, were found deceased on December 14th in what is being investigated as a homicide. Their son, Nick Reiner, has since been arrested and charged with their murders.

O'Brien recounted the shock of saying goodnight to the couple, only to learn of their deaths the following day. He described Reiner as a "lovely person" and lamented the loss of his voice and active involvement in societal issues. The incident gained further attention as Reiner and Singer had attended O'Brien's holiday party the night before they died.

Reports have emerged detailing a potential altercation between Nick Reiner and his father at the party. Anonymous sources described Nick as making guests uncomfortable and reportedly engaged in a fight with his father before leaving. Some accounts suggested the argument was intense enough for a guest to consider calling the police, though it was allegedly dissuaded.

Details from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed that Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer, 70, died from "multiple sharp force injuries." Nick Reiner faces two murder charges, with potential penalties including life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty. O'Brien also reflected on Rob Reiner's significant impact on filmmaking, citing his string of critically acclaimed movies as a testament to his talent and influence.
